I am particularly passionate about assisting students of all levels achieve academic success, overcoming major obstacles to experience an overall positive quality of life. With a diverse background in the fields of mental health, business and education, I am well equipped to help individuals harness their own internal motivation and drive to live happy and healthy lives.

I also provide services as a court-appointed Child and Family Investigator (CFI) and Parenting Time Supervisor, and am experienced in working high-conflict divorce cases.

We are accepting new clients! We are relationship specialists! Patterns in relationships can keep partners unheard, frustrated, exhausted, and alone. It might be frequent fights, or conflict that escalates, or a desire for a deeper connection. I help couples with presentations ranging from moving past affairs and high conflict to premarital checkups. Together we can get to a clearer level of understanding and break out of your pattern. In nourishing a relationship, we build a safe haven of comfort and joy which gives the strength to face life challenges. This powerful force, called love, is the most important thing in this life. With my help, we will guide you in having conversations that will move you and your partner toward a more secure relationship with greater joy. Reach out and let's work together!

My goal is to help the client "tame their inner rhinoceros". There are times in one's life when certain unhelpful behaviors end up controlling you instead of you being able to control them. I work with a wide age range of children and teens and their families to recognize and strategize against habitual negative behaviors. I work with individuals that struggle with PTSD, compulsion, anxiety, anger control, defiance and grief. I work with culturally diverse clients overcome troubling experiences with friends, school, family history and environmental events. I strive to strengthen the connection between youth, their schools, their families, and other providers with whom they are involved. See my website: Tameyourrhino.com for more information.

I help families manage the challenges of today's lifestyles. I specialize in working with parents and children and have 30+ years of experience in the fields of education and psychology. Using a client-centered and strength-based approach, I help individuals uncover their authentic self, so that they may thrive rather than merely survive. I see clients in my office, and I also will come to your home to help you with parenting and child behavior concerns. www.pattiashley.com
